Client Background
A well-known North American fashion apparel brand is looking to launch its first eyewear collection. They wanted a signature product that combined high-fashion aesthetics with functional sports performance.
Needs & Challenges
- Innovation Risk: The client required a magnetic lens and detachable temple system—a forward-thinking design with high technical difficulty.
- Performance Requirements: The magnets needed specific suction strength to ensure stability during sports, a detail undefined in the initial concept.
- Time-to-Market: The client needed to verify the concept quickly to meet their launch window.
Julong Solution
- Rapid Visualization: We delivered three versions of detailed 3D structural concepts within one week, visualizing the internal magnetic mechanisms.
- Precision Tooling: We opened exclusive molds to fine-tune the magnet inlay positions and temple hinge angles.
- Material Selection: We utilized lightweight TR90 frames and non-slip silicone nose pads to ensure the glasses stayed secure despite the added weight of the magnetic components.
Project Results
- Drastically shortened the development cycle through efficient communication.
- Delivered a high-quality product that perfectly balanced the ease of magnetic swapping with durability.
